Question for all the metric people out there.

Post by ThisDude »

I was wondering does the Buddy 125 or My BuBu 125 have such a horrendously innaccurate metric speedometer too?

All scooters have horrendously innaccurate speedometers.

Metric? The Buddy speedo reads miles per hour not kilometers per hour. It is very "optimistic" however.

Yes metric is for everywhere else in the world, the US is the ONLY major country that still uses feet, fathoms, furlongs and firkins (9 gallons). It's why Kymcos have kph on the outside ring too, they didn't change it just for the US market.
